In Egypt, an archaeological team discovers the lost tomb of Alexander the Great. Seven years later, every public school student in America takes a strange new test, but only six are chosen to attend a summer program at the mysterious Institute for the Cultivation of Intuitive Cognition, where nothing is as it appears to be, including the students themselves.
Roman Jackson, 11-the lonely artist. Sees things. Around people. Things he can never, ever tell.
Samantha Prescott, 16-the sarcastic nerd. Isolated by a premonition even she doesn't understand.
Daniel Walker, 17-the shy musician. Hides his private thoughts in the soundtrack of his mind.
Kaitlyn Wright, 15-the bubbly engineer.
Can fix anything, except the one thing that matters most.
Mackenzie Gray, 17-the disciplined athlete.
Armors her deepest fears against a world she can't control.
Ashton Hunt, 17-the frustrated gamer.
Hoping to turn pro, and a constant disappointment to his father.
But why is the U.S. government so interested in six outcasts? And what, exactly, is it teaching them to do? Now, they must band together to uncover the true purpose behind the institute-and the ancient secrets that lie hidden beneath its surface...
Before history catches up to them.
